Sunday, June 16, 2019 Unfortunately, a good night sleep and pancake breakfast left me wondering “what am I doing up here by myself” and my legs were barking at me since getting up. Broke camp and by the time I got back to Lower Pauness, my legs were feeling better and I wished I had gone the other way, but I could see that site #43 was open on the peninsula, and decided to go check that out. The landing to this campsite is adequate, but I think a better landing is all that site is missing. After checking the site out, decided to spend the night. However, it did look like there was a woodchuck here trying to find out how much wood it could chuck! Also there was lots of green brush piled up. After setting up camp and eating some chicken alfredo with Tyson chicken, I did the best I could to clean up the wood chips and brush, getting a good warm fire going and basically raking with my fingers. Later that evening, I just enjoyed being outside, taking pictures, and finally decided to try some shore fishing. Thought it would be a good idea to climb down to the shore, about 4 feet, but I started to slip and ended up face planting on the rocks. After the initial shock, I checked to see if everything was OK, then reflected on the risk of solo travel in the wilderness. Mental note to self, be careful, be intentional, be aware! I found the following in my notes “The days are long and one starts thinking about what to do. I am starting to see how traveling and getting into a routine is a good thing” An eagle flew by and I got a couple pictures. I really enjoyed the night and decided I would spend another night here.
